title: Ultrasensitive bienzyme sensor for adrenaline.
abstract: A biosensor consisting of an analyte-recycling two-enzyme system using laccase (Coriolus hirsutus) and PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase in combination with the electrochemical detection of oxygen depletion at a platinum electrode was used for adrenaline determination in the nano- and subnanomolar concentration range. Measurements were performed in a flow cell providing excellent baseline stability and fast recovery of the sensor. Improved design of the polymer matrix resulted in a lower detection limit of 200 pmol/l for adrenaline. The sensor has successfully been applied to the analysis of adrenaline in effluate of isolated rabbit hearts.
